Malton School is a special place. The close support we have from the local community really feeds through into the family atmosphere in school where relationships between staff and students and amongst the student body are unusually strong.

At Malton School we strive to enable children to develop their potential to the full and to grow into mature and confident young people who are prepared for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of adult life. To support this development Malton School offers a caring environment within which students can share in a wide range of academic, sporting, aesthetic, spiritual and social experiences.

Downtown New York comes to Malton School

The countdown begins as Malton School prepares to put on its biggest show in decades - Little Shop of Horrors.

There is an enormously talented cast that can sing, act and make people laugh; there are the experienced and skilled teachers and staff behind-the-scenes and there is a brand, spanking new drama studio, all set to make a truly professional production† - in Malton.

Many of the young cast ? 15 in the chorus alone - †have a background in performance: singing, acting, playing instruments and dancing. They?ve performed on stages across the region - at school, in the Milton Rooms, at the Scarborough Spa and in York theatres. Joe Wing, 17 who plays Seymour, was a runner up in Ryedale?s Got Talent and Eleanor Anson, 16, who plays Crystal, performed in Robin Hood at the Milton Rooms and is lead singer with the school?s Soul Band.

Hayley Spiers, Director and Drama teacher, loved drama at school and was always involved in school musicals and performances. After sixth form she led drama workshops with a company in Hong Kong called Faust, with children aged 4-16. She went on to study Drama at Hull University, and while there wrote and directed a play which she took to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Hayley Spiers, Director, said: ?Little Shop of Horrors was chosen because it is a personal favourite of mine: I was in it when I was 16 and I really enjoyed being a part of it. I think that it?s a big show with lots of room for creativity and the ?wow? factor, but people haven?t necessarily encountered it as much as other big musicals like Grease, for example. This means that there is room to surprise the audience.?

It?s an old favourite of the Musical Director too. The first time Julian Taylor, music teacher at Malton, was involved with Little Shop of Horrors was 25 years ago when he played drums for the show. This will be his fourth performance as Musical Director. The band for the show is made up of students: James Porritt-Dunn on drums, Tom Wing on Bass, Jared Smith on guitar and Ryan Perry on second keyboards.

Julian Taylor, who has his own band and has appeared no less than 13 times at the Guinness International Jazz Festival, added: ?The show is a great and unexpected story with fantastic songs, and if you haven't seen it before, come along, with family and friends to experience it. You won?t be disappointed.?

Finally, the new drama and dance studio brings the former stage of the old Grammar School back to life. There are 200 comfortable and retractable seats. And with the installation of a new sound system, lighting rigs and excellent acoustics, it is now a very professional space. Those involved in the production are very excited to be putting it through its paces! Throughout Half Term last week it was a busy place, with students and volunteers building and painting the set.

Malton School is also delighted and grateful to have received sponsorship from a wide number of local companies.

Little Shop of Horrors follows the antics of Seymour, a florist?s assistant, who discovers a rather unusual plant with a cravingfor ? blood!†It is a cult film, and one of the longest running off-Broadway shows of all time. Set in 1960s downtown New York, it is best described as a quirky musical comedy-cum-horror show with a Motown and Blues score.

Performances are on the evenings of 11, 12 and 13 March at 7pm. Tickets are on sale now from West Wing reception: £7 for adults, £5 for concessions and a family ticket £20 (2 adults plus 2 children).

Rotary Club – Youth Speaks Competition

Three teams from Malton School travelled along with Miss Nichols, to the Rotary Club Youth Speaks Competition earlier this week at Lady Lumley's. All the teams spoke exceptionally well against the other schools present with the standard being extremely high. All the students learnt a great deal.†Teams were as follows:-

Junior Team who spoke about Fracking, Main Speaker, Cameron Holmes,†Chairperson, Marcus Raistrick† and Vote of Thanks,†Alicia Davison.

We wish Alice and Eleanor all the best in their studies as they will no longer be able to continue with public speaking in Year 13. Both the girls have been part of the public speaking teams in school since they were in Year 7.

A trip to the cells!

8L travelled with Mrs Beal and Miss Richardson this morning to Malton Police Station for a tour of the station and a demonstration of daily life as a police officer. A particular favourite among the students and staff were Rush and Ben, the sniffer dogs. Rush' job is to help hunt and catch criminals and Bens field of expertise is drugs and explosives.

The students behaved impeccably and were a real credit to Malton School. Many thanks to Malton Police Station for taking the time to show the students the ropes.
